I am a Vol Firefighter in the community where their N American headquarters are located.
Over the years we have had a large number of false alarms at their facility mostly due to burned popcorn.
This kind of study had also been done with Nuns in Minnesota. Many had been teachers. All had remained intellectually active in one way or another.
The study showed that they had brain scans that indicated the disease but none had symptoms. I thought that was interesting.
I hope this study will help in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease. It is a brutal diagnosis for anyone.
Not the results the researcher expected when going in - after spending 20 years in his attempt to find the opposite.
Back to the drawing board...
I was listening to a Focus on the Family episode that was discussing Alzheimer’s and they commented that one of the early indicators of this was extreme, particular neatness as a child. It was the kid that had their desk in perfect order all the time; the teacher’s dream student, room always perfectly clean and organized, that kind of thing.
The doctors discussing this stated that when they asked about neatness, there was an unusually high incidence of this.
I’m safe.

Half of the original 677? That's surprising. There must be something in their environment that is causing it. I find it hard to believe that half of the general population develops Alzheimer's disease.
